From the Indiana Democrat. To His Excellency Noah Noble, GovekxOK OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. Sir I took the liberty a few days since, of addressing you through the medium of tho "Indiana Democrat," charging you with having been 'milty of making two official misrepresentations in reference toMr.Clay s land bill, and the proceedings thereon: and believe now, as 1 did then, that your sole object was to operate upon the election of a United States' Senator then pending before the Indiana Legislature, and also to bring your "official influence," to act upon the three Representatives in Congress, from the State of Indiana, at the next August election. I deem it due to myself and to the people of Indiana, to expose another and still

more gross misrepresentation made by you, in your late imposing message to the Legislature. In speaking of the benefits that would have resulted to the state of Indiana, from the passage of Mr. Clay's land bill, you use the following language : "Our part of the whole sales in the United States, would for this year, have amounted to near two hundred thousand dollars, had the bill passed the lower house;' when the bill itself, as published in the "Indiana Journal," of the 8lh inst. shows that it was not to have taken effect until the very last day of "this year." Now, sir, you cannot plead ignorance in this matter; you must therefore stand convicted before the public of having "officially" misrepresented this matter for political effect. Should you plead ignorance, however, it must beconceded by all, that you arc a "weak brother" and wholly unqualified to discharge the duties of the office you now hold as Governor of Indiana. You have travelled out of the range of your duty and attempted to bring your "official influence" to bear upon myself and colleagues, for having voted for the postponement of Mr. Clay's land bill until the present session of Congress, in the hope no doubt, that it would operate upon the election of United States' Senator, as well as upon the next August election for Representatives to Congress; but in vain will you endeavor to induce the poor man to believe that it is his interest to pay one dollar and twenty-five per acre for refused public lands, for the purpose of enriching the several

slate treasuries, the money in which, to be a fund to promote the views of popularity hunting Governor: If it should so turn out that the postponement of Mr. Clay's land bill at the last session of Congress, shall in the end, secure more for the people of the new states, than was proposed in Mr. Clay's bill, where will you hide your unblushing face, or how will you account to the people of Indiana, for the mirepresentations made by you, in your late message to the Legislature 1 So long as the executive officer of the state, contin ues to walk in the paths of truth and propriety, he will find me ready and willing to defend him and his administration. But

whenever, he shall descend to make false

communications to the Legislature and the

people of the state, intended or calculated, to cast censure on my public acts, he will find me ,ready to defend myself, and to ex

pose to the public, his naked deformity, be

him whomsoever he may. R. BOON. Washington City, Dec. 21, 1S32.

cause it is felt that this war is not to settle tho Belgian question, but is only to proceed as far as compelling the Dutch to evacuate the Belgian territory; 4th. Because it is felt that the Belgian question will be as far oiTa real and permanent settlement as ever, when even tho object of this expedition shall be accomplished; 5th. Because it is felt that the Doctrinnaires enter Belgium and advance to the citadel of Antwerp with tiic consent and permission of the Courts of Berlin and Vienna. What then are Russia, Prussia, and Austria about? This is a most important question, and I will answer it at length at another day: but must just glance at it as the

conclusion to this letter. Russia is prepar

insr

for

war,

and is anxious to make it!

Prussia is endeavoring to accomplish the S3me end in France, viz: a counter-revolution; but by another means, that is by encouraging and aiding the Doctrinnaires; and Austria, fearful of losing her Italian States, and her southern possessions, is

endeavoring to gain time by assenting for the moment to what Prussia may agree to

not with the intention of honestly recognizing the Revolution of July but, on the contrary, with the determined resolution, if possible, of overthrowing it. You must then distinguish between the acquiescence of Prussia and of Austria for the moment; and their preparations and intentions for the future. As the Convention of the 22d October settles nothing, so its execution will settle less. This the Courts of Berlin and Vienna have felt, and they therefore permit the Doctrinnaires to enter Belgium; but on the express condition, that by this entry, a majority is gained for them in the French Chambers that majority shall at once, and without a moment's delay, go on in right earnest with a counter revolution. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, O. P. Q.

Coxvictioxs in the Circuit Court of

the United States.

At the late term of tho Circuit Court of

the U. S. for this district, Humphrey Nichols was convicted of making counterfeit coin.

He was sentenced to the Penitentiary for three years. Tho sentence was probably made thus light, in consideration of his aire,

wlncii was represented to be 57 years.

i aornwn uarncll. late .Post-master at

Sharonville in this State, was convicted o

stealing irom the mail a letter containing

money. He was sentenced for ten vcars

that being the shortest time for which he could be sent. The principal fact, we understand, proven against him was, his having passed one of several notes which were contained in the lost letter. He attempted to account for that fact, by proving that the day before he passed the note, he received one upon tho same Bank, and of the same amount and appearance, from a traveller. A motion was made for a new trial on the ground that the finding of the Jury was contrary to the weight of evidence. The motion was overruled. Both cases were strongly contested, and conducted throughout, on both sides, with great eloquence and ability. For tiie United States, Major N. II. Swayne, U. S. Attorney For Nichols, Gen. S.

From the Yandalia "Whig. Tho following talk was sent us by a gentleman at Rock Island, with a request that it might be inserted in the Whig. The accompanying letter states, that it was brought by a runner from Ke-o-kuck's camp on Racoon river, and is given as nearly, as

possible in the words ot the chief himself. Its object seems to be to correct the stories

of the village criers, (editors,) in Illinois. We are not informed to which of them the

chief of the Sac nation refers; nor are we

aware that stones have been told by any of

them implicating the peaceful disposition of

the remnant of this nation.

To the Great Chief of Illinois.

My Father I have been told by a trader

that several ot your village criers, (ecutois.)

have been circulating bad news, informing

the whites that the Indians are preparing for war, and that we are dissatisfied.

My father, you was present when the tomakawk was buried, and assisted me to place it so deep, that it will never again be raised against your white children of Illinois. My father, very few of that misguided band that entered Rock River last summer remain; you have humbled them by war, and have made them friendly by your generous conduct to them after they were defeated. Myself and a greater part of the Sacs and Foxes, have firmly held you by the hand; we followed your advice, and did as you

told us. My father, I take pity on those of

my nation that you forgave, and never mention the disasters of last summer; I wish it to be forgotten. ' I do not permit the criers of our villages or camps to proclaim any bad news against the whites, not even the truth. Last fall, an old man, a Fox Indian, was hunting on

an Island a short distance below Rock river

for turkeys, to carry to Fort Armstrong; he was killed by a white man.

My father, we passed it over; we have

only spoken of it in whisper; our agent has

not heard ot it. Ve wish to live in friend

ship with the whites; if a white man comes

to our camp or village, we give him a share of what we have to eat, a lodging if he wants it, and put him on the trail if he has lost it. My father, advise the criers of your villages to tell the truth, respecting us, and assist in strengthening the chain of friendship, that your children may treat us friendly when they meet us; and be assured that we are frends, and have feelings as well as they have. My father, this is all I have to say at present KE-O-KUCK, Chief of the Sac nation.

mitted to slumber in silence. It resolves itself into nothing more nor less than the natural right of man, to throw off the yoke of oppression when it becomes too heavy for longer endurance, and when there is no prospect left of relief by any other means. This right the President lias not denied, and we presume, never intended to deny. It is a right which we suspect no one will pretend to deny. ye have not been brought to the extremity in which, according to the explanation of the Virginians upon the subject, they claim the right to secede; nor is it by any means probable that we ever shall be. On the contrary the President and the Secretary of the Treasury have both proposed to bring down the Tariff to the revenue standard, and this is the source of all the difficulty. With this reduction, they declare they will be satisfied, and the nullifiers have heretofore declared the same. As far, therefore, as the influence of those officers can effect the matter, their influence will be exerted in favor of the measure which it has been stated will civc satisfaction to the whole

South; and it is quite likely that the meas

ure will be accomplished, without much

difficulty, v nginia believes it will be ac complishcd and is willing to wait tho ne

cessary length of time, and South Carolina has abundant reason to do the same. The

first is decidedly opposed to nullification

under any circumstances, and particularly a a. 1 . . t 1.

ai uie present lime is sue opposed to any

such measure. Consequently bouth Caro

lma stands entirely alone, m her present movements, and the question which has

been started by Virginia about the right of

secession is, so tar as she is concerned, a matter of no consequence, because, there

is no prospect of the occurrence of such a

state of things as that under which alone

she claims the right in question. Under these circumstances it is not likely we think that South Carolina will persist in her course. Her peaceable remedy of nullificatoin is universally condemned, and that she proposes to try previous to a resort to the right of secession. The circumstances under which, according to her doctrines, she would have a right to resort to that expedient, do not, and are not likely to exist, and without the countenance and support of some other state she will hardly,

we hope, attempt tfie adoption ot it.

A letter ofO. P. Q. dated Paris, Nov. 11. The war against Holland is not popular in France ! I am bound to state this fact is a fact. And I will tell you why it is not so : 1st. Because it is felt that the war is only a sham one, and is intended merely to trick the Chambers, if possible, into a majority for the Doctrinnaires; 2d. Because it is felt tint the Doctrinnaires are the warriors, and France is afraid of being sold by those who went to Gand to edite the Moniteur for Louis XVIII, and who now arrest the Duchess of Beni only to liberate her; 3d.

Right of Secession. Much has recently been said in relation to the question of the right of a state to secede from the Union, as contended forhy the committee of the Legislature of Virginia. With the explanation which they have given of their views upon

me subject, it is, we think a question of

very little consequence, and merits but little consideration in the present condition of the country. If it be, as represented by them, a right to be exercised only in cases of intolerable oppression by the General Government, long persisted in, and when all other means for procuring a redress of grievances have failed it is very clear that it can

have nothing to do with the nresent condition

Raleigh, December oOth, 1832.

Gentlemen, I have been honored by your note of this date, inviting me

in behalf of a number of my fellow

citizens, to partake of a public dinner

at such time as it may suit my conve

nience, which I greatly regret that it is

not in mv power to accept.

I have been unavoidably prevented

from reaching Washington as early as my duty required; and, as great as is my desire to meet the wishes of my

friends in Raleigh, it must yield to tha

sense of duty which, in the present in

teresting and critical condition of our

country, impels me to my post with the

least possible delay.

For the kind terms in which you have communicated the invitation, you will please to accept of my sincere aud grateful acknowledgment. With great respect, I am, &c. &c. J. C. CALHOUN.
